Manchester City may already regret their decision to send Claudio Echeverri on loan to Bayer Leverkusen, following a struggle for minutes and recent comments from sporting director Simon Rolfes.
Echeverri joined Man City in January 2024 from River Plate, but initially rejoined his boyhood club on loan before linking up with his new teammates in January. Despite scoring his maiden goal for Man City at the Club World Cup, the 19-year-old attacking midfielder failed to make a significant impact at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola previously called Echeverri 'incredible', highlighting the potential that Man City may have let slip away.
